What should you know about the ImuPro food intolerance test?

The test uses a blood sample to look for IgG antibodies linked with foods. Antibodies may show that your immune system has encountered a food; they do not automatically show that the food is harmful. Food intolerance is usually assessed through symptoms, medical history, and a carefully planned dietary trial rather than a report in isolation.

Bloating and diarrhoea can occur with food intolerance, but they can also accompany infection, medication effects, coeliac disease, or other bowel conditions. The pattern, timing, and severity matter more than treating a single laboratory finding as an explanation.

Keep a simple diary of meals, symptoms, bowel changes, and medicines. Show the report and diary to a GP or dietitian. If an elimination and reintroduction plan is suitable, it should identify whether symptoms change when a food is removed and then returned, while protecting your nutrition.

Avoid cutting out a long list of foods on your own, especially if you are pregnant, feeding a child, underweight, or already eating a restricted diet. Nutrition Counselling can help you plan substitutions and avoid unnecessary restriction. For a different diagnostic pathway, ask about Food Intolerance Testing and what it can genuinely establish.

Get urgent help for breathing difficulty, throat or tongue swelling, collapse, or a severe reaction soon after eating. Seek prompt review for persistent diarrhoea, blood in stool, severe pain, repeated vomiting, dehydration, fever, or unexplained weight loss. These symptoms should not be explained away by an ImuPro report.

Ask whether your symptoms suggest a recognised condition, whether any tests should come before dietary changes, and how long a supervised elimination and reintroduction plan should last.
